Loads of Pictures

I just found a new feature on my photo printing page so this post will have lots of pictures of the kids as I want to see what it looks like.

We've had a very busy week and a half. The weather last week was phenomonal so we took full advantage of it by going for a walk with Grace and Moe, playing outside, ect. Here are a few pictures concluding with playing in the rain yesterday and a well needed bath!!

A day of fun

We started out this morning with finally allowing Michelle to eat her cereal with milk. I know we're way behind on this but hey she was a pro and we didn't have to worry about one drop of spilled milk.



We then proceeded to Nani's to say goodbye to Nana Doe before she went back home. Charlie found it particularly exciting to play in the dirt. This picture truly do not demonstrate just how filthy he was but if you look at his sleeve you'll get the idea.



After coming home for a nap and some playing outside, which I must mention was a bit difficult as Charlie figured out he could shake the gate open and be down the stairs to the driveway by the time I reached him, we went to meet Nick and Katie at Par-Tee Freeze. Michelle loved her ice cream and as you can see was not willing to let one drop go.






Charlie had fun playing in the fire truck with his cousin Nick, while Katie took a ride on the motorcycle

Eagle Pond

We just returned from a walk with Auntie Jenn, Molly and Shawn. Michelle and Molly are just too cute with one another.

Hanging out waiting for our walking buddies.



What??? We're just walking.

Today is a beautiful day so we took advantage of it by going to the playground and then for a walk around Cotuit center. The kids definitely need a scrubbing tonight as even Charlie pulled/crawled himself around the playground. Michelle finally mastered the concept of a slide too by using the stairs and then coming down. We are going to go back tomorrow and get some photos. For now we hope these snapshots of today will hold you over, :-)



Michelle gives her "Curious George" from Nana Doe a big hug!!

All Boy!!!

Parenting a boy is all new territory for me. I have never had to deal with Michelle climbing out of anything. Charlie however climbs up and out of everything including the bath tub, his high chair and now his new favorite past time is climbing onto the chairs of the kids table and STANDING.





Michelle still prefers to do activities closer to the ground like helping her father wax his truck.

Augh, I don't know why we are having such a hard time with videos! I'll have to try again when I have more time.

Charlie says Da-Da!!

I suppose it could be our imagination but it sure sounds like Da-Da to me!!! It usually sounds like "it's daddy" which would make sense because Michelle says that all day long. We can't believe how far Charlie has come. He has even played solo for 3 days in a row now, this is HUGE!!!

Rabbit!!

I really have nothing to say except that I really don't like the picture I posted yesterday so here is just a silly one of Michelle popping out of the pack n play. She played peek a boo with Charlie for about 30 minutes yesterday. It was a bit amsuing seeing the toddler inside the pack and play and the infant (oh my he isn't going to be an infant much longer is he?)on the outside.
